Last week we received the following email from a sales person from Roger Vivier:
It is a limited edition from our SS2015 (Rendez-Vous), the bag made very beautiful black and white color crocodile skin, with brick-color leather lining inside. Retail at $69,400. That’s correct, $69,400!!” exclaims a Roger Vivier sales person.
Even the sales person’s explanation points and reiteration of the price suggest the ridiculousness of the product.
Hermes has proved that there is a market for handbags that sell for over $100,000. Finding a sucker to shell out $70k on this bag of questionable design is far less likely. Vivier has no secondary-market track record on products at their price point.
Lets take a vote of hands: Who here would spend $75,559.25 (including New York sales tax) on this Roger Vivier purse? Next Question: Who would want the bag for 90% off?
